There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Anyone have any idea on how well Rykers are selling

Local dealer here in Northern NJ claims they can't get them in fast enough. Ryker is their hottest selling item.

Just checked, 120 to Roswell and 70-80 to Las Cruses. An easy drive or ride here in the west. :thumbup:

Ryker is not for everyone. I do believe that BRP did make some inroads into the younger market with the Ryker.
To my surprise...there are many tried and true Spyder owners that have also made the transition either to adding a Ryker or to trade the Spyder off in place of the Ryker.
Like Corbin seats, you either like them or you don't. I did a test sit and it just was not for me. I did not particularly like the ergo's.
However, I made this same statement about the F3 when they first came out. And...I bought a brand new F3L a couple months ago.
Who knows, what another five years may bring? :dontknow: :roflblack:

I think you are totally correct about attracting a new customer base, I am in my early 30's and personally never considered a Spyder. But when the Ryker came out I just had to get one.
However since I became a Ryker owner, it has opened my eyes for the Spyders aswell, and I would not be surpriced if I will own an F3 within a few years, a Ryker for shorter trips and a F3 for longer trips where an hour or two on highway is hard to avoid to get to the destination in a somewhat timely fashion

Did you ever go look at a Ryker?
I saw one on the showroom floor in Chattanooga, Tn. just before we moved here to Alamogordo, NM. It was sold......
Saw my first one on the road about 3 weeks ago while riding one of my motorcycles, turned around and caught up with it and followed it into a giant parking lot in front of the Harbor Freight store here. Talked with the owner and his wife who have had it almost 1 year. It was the 600 version. They ride two up on it all over this part of New Mexico, it had about 8,000 miles on it at that time and completely issue free. He has several other motorcycles but they just stay in the garage. Anyhow, he said, take it for a ride......:thumbup:......So I did. Surprised the heck out of me as to how peppy it was, thought it would be sluggish as it was only.......a 600. My wife and I each have had ATV's since the early 90's, so the Ryker was as natural as can be. Drove the heck out of it on that empty parking lot, hit 65 several times, excellent brakes, great cornering. Even loved the sound of the twin cylinder 600 with its stock exhaust. Seriously considering adding a Ryker to the stable..... :2thumbs:
